Kinemetrix, based in Lexington, KY, specializes in advanced solutions for robotic automation. This spring, they supported a team of high school students in their science fair project. The students who have been doing a senior year internship at Kinemetrix developed an approach towards a "proprioceptive agile robotic gripper".

The test platform featured a 3-axis gantry equipped with a sheet-of-light setup. Using HALCON's surface-based 3D matching allowed the system to guide the hand to parts placed under it and perform various manipulation tasks.
